Using the Customize link in windows

Windows that contain a Customize or Customize Fields and Filter link allow you to change the
following information:

The number of items displayed per page in the window

Which columns of information are displayed in Units View windows

Which columns are included in a filter from a Units View window (available from the
Customize Fields and Filter link only)

By clicking the Customize link, you can also show units that have been hidden in a Units View
window.

NOTE: If you are in a Units View window, the link is displayed as “Custom Fields and Filter” and this window
contains additional filtering options. On any other window, the link is displayed as “Customize”. The term
“Customize link” is used throughout this document to refer to both links.

The items available for customizing and methods for changing them will vary, depending on the
window being customized. Although the items that appear in windows may vary, the items that do
appear are modified identically regardless of the window in which you clicked the Customize link.

DSView 3 software administrators may also configure the default display for customizable
windows, that is, which columns will be displayed and how many items will be displayed per page
by default. The default values will be used by all new users and by existing users who have not
already customized their views.
